PHONQEE: Playful Hands-on-Quantum Early Education — •Slava Tzanova1, Wolfgang Dür2, Stefan Heusler3, and Ulrich Hoff4 — 1qutools GmbH, Munich, Germany — 2University of Innsbruck, Innsbruck, Austria — 3University of Muenster, Muenster, Germany — 4Technical University of Denmark, Kongens Lyngby, Dänemark
The PHONQEE project is exploring novel didactical approaches to teaching of quantum physics, spurring curiosity about quantum phenomena and their interpretation and applications, and stimulating scientific creativity and inquisitive learning in high-school education. The ambition is to facilitate deep learning and assist the students' assimilation of new knowledge about quantum physics by creating a cheerful learning environment and making the abstract concrete. The project has an undivided focus on 'hands-on' as physical and tactile activity has unique learning and retention benefits over purely digital approaches. Specifically, we will merge humour-driven and game-based approaches into a novel highly stimulating and fun-to-work-with educational material that prepares students in a strongly inquisitive state which is the ideal starting point for an encounter with a minituarized photonics laboratory - the Quantenkoffer. The PHONQUEE project will contribute to the creation of awareness, fascination, and understanding of quantum physics.
